Asthma is a disease of the human respiratory system where the airways narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise, or emotional stress. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.

Quition For Smokers With Asthma

Hummmmm....I would strongly suggest you take a virtual stroll over to the COPD community (I reside there) and see how smoking has affected others. You can read how some people cannot walk further than 10 feet without being out of breath, and how some must live their days constantly on oxygen as they have very little lungs left due to smoking! When you are through reading about that, you can read about those that have smoked for years and now fight a constant battle to quit...even though they know it is slowly killing them.

As for the asthma..I think you know the answer to that, but what you may not know is that smoking can eventually cause asthma!

It would be extremely wise of you not to smoke if you value the ability to perform any meanial tasks such as walking and/or running on occasion.
It may not have an immediate affect on you, but long term, you are going to have severe problems in addition to your asthma. Best of you to quit ASAP.

I used to smoke but I didn't think it was a big deal because my athsma is so mild (and I was only diagnosed with it 2 years ago...waaay after I started smoking) but I do notice that (now I've quit) if I go on a big night out and smoke a few cigarettes I get out of breath quickly the next day, even if having a cigarette doesn't directly cause the athsma. My doctor said that smoking didnt cause the athsma and wasn't making it worse but obviously he said I should quit anyway because smoking is bad for you. Its your choice right?
